Limestone Cleaning Sacramento

Limestone is a calcium based stone which means it soft (susceptible to scratching) and acid sensitive. Limestone can be easily identified by the presence of shells and fossils within the stone. We normally see limestone in a honed (soft, matte) state. It can be polished but it’s definitely not as popular. If your limestone is dirty, dull-looking, or etched don’t replace it! SacSurfacePro specializes in limestone cleaning in Sacramento. See what our cleaning, restoration, and protection services can do for your limestone.

Over the years high traffic areas will become dirty and soiled due to everyday abuse. Because limestone is soft, it’s susceptible to scratching from tracked-in grit or even pet claws. Every once in awhile we come across a limestone floor which has been cleaned with something acidic such as vinegar or Pine Sol. Because of its sensitivity to acids it only takes ONE time cleaning with these types of cleaners to etch the stone and will make your entire floor dull. Choose a stone specific neutral pH cleaner to maintain your floors and prevent these issues! If your limestone is dirty or has a fake sheen built up on the surface schedule through our online booking option or give us a call to restore the original look.

Limestone Refinishing

Often when limestone cleaning in Sacramento we are asked to clean 10 year old limestone floors which have never been professionally cleaned. Most of the time we find residue from cleaner build up creating a false sheen on the surface of the limestone. Once cleaned the look is somewhat changed because the stone has gradually changed to its current state. We can add a little more sheen or make it more honed (soft, matte look) depending on your preference.

Another thing we encounter with older limestone which has not been professionally cleaned regularly is surface inconsistency, even after we clean the tile and grout. Cleaning will remove the dirt and soil but will not take care of these inconsistencies. We always recommend our clients buff limestone if it has been many years since it has been cleaned. The buffing will remove the inconsistencies (not the the natural occurring mineral changes) and leave you with a more uniform, clean look.

Note: Buffing can remove light etching but will not remove deep etches in the stone. We can remove these but it will require more focused work in these areas.

Professional Limestone Cleaning

Limestone should be professionally cleaned every 1-3 years depending on the amount of abuse it takes on a regular basis. If cleaned regularly, the odds are increased it will clean up better than if you wait years to address it. We do recommend you pre-vacuum the floor to remove large particles prior to our arrival.

✔ We start with a highly effective, non acidic cleaner to loosen up the soil

✔ The we pre-scrub the grout lines to break the soil free and leave it ready for extraction

✔ We extract the dirt with our high powered equipment and over 200° water

Limestone Sealing Sacramento

After cleaning, we seal the limestone with HydroShield to increase the stain resistance. Out of the three most common calcium based stones, limestone is the most porous and can quickly absorb staining agents which can be permanent. We have used HydroShield to seal limestone for since 2005 and this high quality sealer will help keep your stone floors looking like new assuming the stone and grout is regularly cleaned and sealed. If you’re looking for a stone cleaning and sealing specialist, choose SacSurfacePro for limestone sealing in Sacramento.

✔ We apply HydroShield to the limestone and let it absorb into the stone and grout

✔ Once the sealer has absorbed we wipe down the entire floor so residue is not left on the surface

Note: On limestone with lots of coloring, we do offer a sealer which will enhance the natural coloring within the stone. It will keep the natural look and will not make the stone look “wet”.

Thank you to Matt and the team ...you all are awesome and I almost walked through my shower door it is spotless!

I have been referring Matt for years. I am a local real estate agent and have lot clients with needs that SacSurface can help with. I call him before people list their houses and insist people use him after they buy a new one. He is able to seal everything in to keep it looking brand new.
Matt has been to my house SEVERAL time, always does an amazing job.
Call Matt!

Matt and his crew were great. Very professional, knowledgeable and priced fairly. I just moved to a new home and tile floors were dark and disgusting and they did an amazing job cleaning everything. The floors looked new after they were done with it. I finally feel like I can walk on the floor barefoot!

Very responsive team completed the task of sealing the grout throughout our new home on very short notice. They were courteous and efficient and sealed the granite and the glass in both showers! Matt was very thorough and professional.

We hired Matt to seal the grout in our tile floors. He was very knowledgeable about his craft, he told us how to properly care for our floors and countertops. He even gave the heavy traffic sections of our floor a second layer. Would definitely recommend him and go to sac surface pro again for any of our flooring needs .

I called SacSurface to get a quote for cleaning and sealing my tile kitchen floor and small tile bathroom floor. In many words Matt said they don't come out and give quotes on "small jobs," that it would be $250 sight unseen. I was fine with the price, so we set a date.
He and his crew did a beautiful job on both floors and educated me about what products to use. They were careful to put corner guards on the corners and wore booties each time they came into the house.
That evening I discovered that the kitchen floor was very slippery, so I called him the next day to ask what to do. He came over and used a big machine with a special pad to go over it and checked with me to make sure it wasn't so slick anymore.
I'm very pleased with his work as well as his response to the problem. Will definitely hire him again.

Matt and his tech were very thorough and provided explanations to us of what they could do for our granite. They were punctual and professional. They sealed the granite which has resolved our issues. The work was done quickly and neatly with good attention to problem areas and suggestions for us to follow. We would definitely use them again.

Great service and quality work at a fair price. We have a large indoor tile floor and the grout had turned black from dirt after years of foot traffic. Matt and his crew did great workand got the grout to look shiny and new. Great company to work with.

The reason for choosing to do business with a locally owned company, is that they take pride in their work and realize the importance of making a customer happy. Matt and his crew went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right and we were happy.

Over a period of two years, our tiled floors got destroyed from a family of six. Matt and his team did amazing work restoring our floors to its former glory. Our grout looked so dirty, even though I washed the floor twice a day. It's very clear that Matt takes pride in his line on work and ensures to educate his clients on how to take care of the stone work /tiled floors that they have installed in their homes. Our floor looks brand new again and I'm not embarrassed when guests are visiting. We'd highly recommend Matt and his team!

Owner was very friendly and informative on the phone. We scheduled an appointment to clean and seal our granite. He arrived on time, explained the process thoroughly, and performed the work beyond our satisfaction. I would recommend him to anyone.

Matt and his team did a wonderful job sealing our floor tile and backsplash. The best part is he was able to come out the day I called since we had a small window of time to get the work done. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

If you want SPARKLiNG CLEAN shower doors then call now!!! You will not be disappointed! Matt also did a great job on my old tile kitchen floor - gave me a few more years of life! Great guy who is very handy. I would definitely recommend him!

This was a great experience for us. Matt came highly recommended from Arizona Tile CO. in Sacramento and we know why. We have a lot of tile, granite and glass showers in our newly built home so we want it to last and look nice. Matt is very professional, has been in the business for a while and knows what he is doing, had great suggestions for my maintaining it and was always on time. He is also very knowledgeable about new building materials and what to use on each. We highly recommend him.
